St. John's Woods

St John’s consists of two small woods with short 'circular' routes and seats to allow visitors to enjoy their surroundings. Benskins offers superb views out over St Johns Lake in the Tamar SSSI. Access is via unlocked management of hunters gates and along level and gently sloping grass and natural surfaced paths. Recreation values are limited due to their small size and restricted access, but both are used regularly by a small number of locals and therefore provide good amenity for their respective local communities and those interested in the lake and its wildlife. There are facilities in both the adjacent villages and public transport services travel close to both however it should be remembered that these are limited as would be expected within such a small and disparate rural community.
